Everton boss David Moyes blasted his players after their defeat to Newcastle United.
Magpies new boy Hatem Ben Arfa scored the only goal of the game just before half-time as Everton made it five games without a win in the Barclays Premier League this season.
The Toffees' supporters made their feelings known at full-time, and Moyes left his players in little doubt how he felt about their display.
"I would have booed after that performance," said the Scot. "They are good players and a good team but they now need to stand up and be counted."
Moyes was in no mood to put a positive spin on another disappointing afternoon for Everton.
"We didn't start the game well and Newcastle deserved the victory, I've got no qualms about that," he said. "We had no real chances up until 90 minutes, we're not kidding ourselves about that.
"We then had two and we were maybe a little bit unfortunate that one hits the post and bounces back into the goalkeeper's arms and the other one I actually think was really good defending. The boy just does enough to nick it off him.
"Give Newcastle credit, they came here, stifled, made it difficult for us and did a great job away from home."
